Description
Take control of a mechanical digging machine as you tunnel your way through the earth, searching for valuable gems and the even more valuable bags of gold! But watch out for Nobbins and Hobbins, and don't be careless enough to let the bags of gold crush you!
Digger is an arcade game combining elements of the popular arcade games Dig Dug and Mr. Do!. Players control the titular 'Digger' that can tunnel through dirt with ease. The goal of each level is to gather up each of the gems, which allows you to progress to the next stage. However, Nobbins and Hobbins are also lurking within the levels - Nobbins are fairly slow, but transform into Hobbins which are much quicker. The enemies can only chase Digger through the tunnels he creates - they cannot dig through the dirt themselves.
Digger's defenses consist of being able to shoot a single, rechargeable shot in the direction he is facing with F1 (which recharges after about thirty seconds), crushing his foes by digging underneath a gold bag and letting it plummet down, crushing anything in its path, or by collecting the bonus cherry that sometimes appears, causing Digger to become temporarily invincible.

There is a code for increasing/decreasing speed of the game.
But , are ... there cheat codes for increasing the number of lives of Digger ? or for jumping to next levels ?

Subject: Fun game and CGA graphics
I remember thinking ... I've really stepped up in the word of video games when I booted this baby up from a 5 1/4" floppy some guy gave me.
This also came in the other CGA palette of brown, poop green, and safety cone orange.
Fun game but it was really stinking hard! Dropping a sack of gold on two or more Nobbin, Hobbins and whatever his name was is extremely satisfying.
Subject: Great Dig Dug variant
I remember playing this game for a year before I accidentally hit the f1 key and the gun fired.
I must have had a better video card than the emulator provides as I rememeber it being in color.
